Manufactured in India, supplied in Jakarta
Wood wool acoustic panels in Jakarta
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jakarta. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Jakarta brief
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
Work reaching us from Jakarta is mostly towers and offices, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Jakarta.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |
| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Jakarta
- Noise arrives from outside
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring.
- Standby generation
Power backup sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings and runs often enough to matter.
- The port is in the city
Tanjung Priok is close, which keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Places of worship, function halls and community buildings are large hard rooms carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard, naturally ventilated and open to corridor and street noise, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
For a Jakarta practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Jakarta climate rules in and rules out
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Jakarta, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanjung Priok |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

A claim of being local to Jakarta
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Jakarta: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Jakarta actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jakarta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Jakarta enquiry?
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first. The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Jakarta climate affect this product?
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Jakarta site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
When are wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.

Send the drawings, get a straight answer
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
